Intelligent communication mobile transponder
First Claim
1. An intelligent mobile transponder communication system, comprising:
- an intelligent mobile transponder configured to;
receive a first communication signal from at least one first communication module, the at least one first communication module configured to transmit a first communication signal in a first plurality of directions, the first communication signal having at least one first signal characteristic;
receive second communication signal from at least one second communication module, the at least one second communication module configured to transmit a second communication signal in a second plurality of directions, the second communication signal having at least one second signal characteristic different from the at least one first signal characteristic; and
to determine an optimal position with respect to the first and second directions based on a comparison between the at least one first signal characteristic and the at least one second signal characteristic, wherein the intelligent mobile transponder automatically self-locates to the optimal position to relay the first and second communication signals to the at least one first communication module and the at least one and second communication module.

Abstract
An intelligent mobile transponder determines an optimal position to relay signals with respect to multiple users based on a comparison of the signal characteristics of all the users. An intelligent transponder communication system includes a first communication module to transmit a first communication signal at a first direction. The first communication signal has at least one first signal characteristic. A second communication module is configured to transmit a second communication signal at a second direction. The second communication signal has at least one second signal characteristic different from the at least one first signal characteristic. The intelligent mobile transponder is further configured to automatically self-locate to the optimal position to relay the communication signals between the multiple users.
